| This was great.
Plenty of little nods to the original film, but not reliant on nostalgia to surprise or entertain with some really good turns from the cast and some genuine shocks en route to a suitably thrilling ending act. | |

| some pieces of it were a bit all over the place though.. - Spoiler:
like that entire subplot with D'Onofrio's character and Henry Wu, what the fuck was that all about, and what happened to Wu? they just put him on a helicopter and he's just gone and we know shit about where the fuck he's going or what his deal was.
also: - Spoiler:
how the fuck can this dinosaur just walk all over the place? okay, I get it, it removed its tracker that would've activated electrical shocks and whatnot if it reached certain areas if it was still on her. but still, that's the only security you have on these things? no other fences or it can just break through anything like it's nothing?

Wu was clearly sequel bait.
There were other measures, but yes, it broke them all. Indominus was just a tank. Ignore for a moment what was said about it, think abut what we saw it do; it had enough physical strength to first hold and then force open the concrete door to its enclosure that must have weighed a ton at least, it took a hit from an ankylosaur with only a casual "fuck you", we saw it charge head first into the reinforced glass aviary, it tore through the old Visitor Centre like a knife through butter, it shrugged off a near-miss with from an RPG with only apparent minor discomfort, it had three raptors clawing at it's back, it had Owen hitting it with a shotgun, it had the upper hand on the other dinosaur* for most of their climactic fight... It never had a chance to heal any of its wounds, all the damage inflicted on it was still cumulating throughout the day it was just designed to be the biggest,toughest and smartest of the land carnivores.
* I'm aware what it was, just in case someone reads this and risks spoiling themselves!
My only real question would be concerning the security on the island - they only had maybe two dozen troops in total, for an attendance of 20000 plus people?

| yeah, okay, sequel bait.

| It was fun, but it rode the nostalgia factor hard, especially at the end. - Spoiler:
Seriously, the T-Rex enclosure has an exit right into the middle of the main tourist center of the park? That's almost as bad as that cliff magically appearing in the T-Rex enclosure in the first film. The T-Rex is right there too, and just walks out like a badass.
It was a fun fight though. At one point the Raptor was on the T-Rex's back as they were both attacking the Indominus.
It was cool that they acknowledged in the film that a lot of the dinosaurs didn't look how the real species would have looked. But that's mainly because they're following the canon of a film that was made when people did think they looked like that. Pretty much everything with dinosaurs in it has. Jurassic Park based it's dinosaurs on the scientific knowledge of the time, but since then everyone just bases their dinosaurs on Jurassic Park. The younger kids behind me in the cinema were pointing out and naming the dinosaurs every time a new one appeared, and it's a bit weird that they could be mostly wrong. Chris Pratt's character at one point says Indominus isn't a dinosaur, but neither are his raptors. Or at least their not velociraptors, I forget the details. I just found it a bit weird that in the film they have our current real-world knowledge of dinosaurs, but they forget it at will. Like the young kid in the movie was talking about all the dinosaur species. He was a kid that was clearly into dinosaurs. But he never mentioned how they should look different or anything. I dunno, just a little thing that bugged me. | |

I dunno, just a little thing that bugged me. I can't believe you didn't just throw the kids popcorn on the floor and insist he go home and read about dinosaurs properly because no one like a guy who's into something and yet can't get his facts straight. I mean kids making it seem like country folk don't know their shit. I mean you're a direct descendant of the people who built Stone Henge for the love of your Sun God. | |

This was addressed in the film though not many people will have picked up on it. When Claire is talking to Owen about Indominus Rex, she says it needs to have, and I'm paraphrasing slightly here, "a memorable and scary name; not every kid can say Deinonychus." The joke being that the raptors in the films are actually Deinonychus, rather than velociraptor, which were much smaller. If you didn't know that though, the joke will have gone right over your head. I've seen the film twice now, and enjoyed it hugely on both occasions. | |

| I really really really enjoyed it. I don't get why alot of people tried to deter me from watching it. - Raptors are the shit:
I wasn't too fond of raptors since the first movie but by the end of jurassic world, I wanted a darn pack.
